I don't know about the other two, but Lufthansa? thats a low bar. I'd prefer Singapore, Air New Zealand or Qantas. Qatar would feature, but the molesty episode makes them too intense.

If I need to go to Singapore sure. If I need to go to down under or New Zealand sure.

ANA is good but isn't even the best airline in its' own country. LH isn't the best airline in its' own group (Swiss and Austrian have better seats/service, and Swiss has equivalently good coverage).

United is probably the best US airline for international but domestically Delta is arguably better.

I detest Swiss for forcing me to watch ads - also their service is hit or miss (okay same for lh) Austrian just doesn’t have any routes I need. JAL is on the wrong alliance thus I have only domestic experience.

Agreed. JAL for the win.

United? I don't have much preferences with airlines, but I had a really bad experience with United, so I try to avoid them as much as possible.
